What the fuck?]
Yeah, there you go. That's... Well, that's great. You're a quick learner.
[Eerily quick. And Harlan has one more test in mind to see just how quick. Maybe, anyway. If this works.]
Hey, there's one more thing I want you to try, okay? You don't even really have to do anything this time.
[It's true. For this test, it's all HH. He sets up a quick Alarm spell around himself, setting the dividing line about halfway between himself and Michael. He takes care to make sure the Alarm is very specific; if someone enters the barrier who isn't a sorcerer, the spell will trigger.]
Now put your hand here. [Harlan points to a spot closer to himself on the table.] Nothing will happen, but I'm trying something out to test just how magical you are.
